Normally I don't do a post about a simple point release; however if you are one of the many who upgraded to 3.00; you will really want to grab 3.0.1.

There are lots of issues resolved from the major update 3.0.0; some of them include:

  • Several crashing bugs on Android
  • Image issues
  • Action bar issues on iOS
  • Layout issues on iOS
  • bindingContext issues
  • TextField issues
  • Fixing --debug-brk on Android

Upgrading (Core):

First of all to upgrade is done is a couple steps:
> npm install -g nativescript@latest
> npm install tns-core-modules@latest --save

Next try the new update command or you can manually run the commands below
> tns update

For iOS

> tns platform remove ios
> tns platform add ios@latest

For Android

> tns platform remove android
> tns platform add android@latest

Then you can type tns info and verify that everything says 3.0.1.
